TRANSCRIPT
The Nagoya Medal of Organic Chemistry was initially proposed by Professor Hisashi Yamamoto and Professor Ryoji Noyori, and founded in 1995 with Professor Noyori as the president through the financial support of Banyu Life Science Foundation International. Since 2014, the Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules (ITbM), Nagoya University became the co-sponsor of this event. The Nagoya Gold Medal has been awarded every year to an organic chemist who has made significant original contributions to the field in its broadest sense. The first medal was presented to Professor Yoshito Kishi, and since then 23 eminent scientists have come to give lectures, including the Goto Memorial Lectureship started earlier. The Silver Medal, established in 1999, has also been presented every year to a rising Japanese scientist whose research has had a major impact on the field of synthetic organic chemistry. The medals are designed in the shape of a sword guard after an idea of Professors Yamamoto and Noyori. The flowers on the surface are lilies, which are the city flower of Nagoya City, and have the meaning of “a kind heart and competitiveness”. At their award lectures, recipients are asked to take enough time to talk not only about the profundity of their unique award-winning chemistry but also the in-depth philosophy behind it, encouraging young chemists and students particularly in Nagoya region. In 2014, the Gold medal will be presented to Professor John F. Hartwig, and the Silver medal to Professor Itaru Hamachi.
